Google Local

In the era of modern technology, people of all ages are using map applications on their devices to search for businesses nearby.

88% of consumer local business searches on a mobile device either call or visit the business within 24 hours. Additionally, 92% of searches will pick businesses on the first page of a local search result.[1] Google “near me” searches have also increased by two times over the past year (Search Engine Watch, 2016[2]) and four out of five consumers use Google search to find local information.

As a result, if your business isn’t optimized for local search, 80% of potential customers won’t be able to find you. Urban Block Media ensures this isn't the case by ensuring your business is optimized for Google My Business as well as reviewing and updating your company name, address, location, store hours, unique store descriptions, promotions, testimonials, and more on your company website.

Using Google Local, and the newest in search engine optimization technology, Urban Block Media will ensure that your business is showing up as a top result in Ottawa consumer searches.
